Abstract:We focus on the concentration
dependency of fibril-forming peptides,
which have the potential of aggregation by themselves. In this study,
we performed replica-exchange molecular dynamics simulations of Lys-Phe-Phe-Glu
(KFFE) fragments, which are known to form fibrils in experiments under
different concentration environments. The analysis by static structure
factors suggested that the density fluctuation of the KFFE fragments
becomes large as the concentration increases. It was also found that
the number of β-… Show more
